Boston Nature Center and Wildlife Sanctuary — 500 Walk Hill St., Mattapan, MA
Start outside in the Clark-Cooper Community Garden and Boston Food Forest, harvesting the herbs that have fueled healing traditions for generations. Back inside, blend your harvest into a salve from scratch, combining infused olive oil with shea butter and beeswax while learning about the traditional and modern applications of each plant. You'll leave with a handmade, plastic-free remedy and a deeper understanding of the living pharmacy growing at Boston Nature Center. This grounding, sensory program connects plant knowledge, local ecology, and wellness in a single afternoon. Trails are flat and able to navigate with mobility devices. The Nature Center offers convenient amenities including bathrooms, a water bottle filling station, and a large parking lot. Dress for the weather and wear comfortable walking shoes. Bring a water bottle. This program is free for Dot Rx members. Dot Rx members should email [email protected] to register.
